Have replied in private but will also post the cure here.
The file that is causing the problem is in the Windows Mail program folder and is the msoe.dll file.
The one that gets installed is for Windows Live Mail so stops Windows Mail from opening.
As I also have Vista I now have the updated msoe.dll file and can send that to anybody that needs it or you can put the original Vista one back.

If you have already tried running Windows Mail you will need to re-boot before trying to change the file to stop Windows Mail running in the background.

This is only a problem for anybody running Windows Mail on Windows 7.
